I'm creating a webpart that uses the SearchHelper to get smart search results based on the search paramaters to display in a live search via Ajax.
I am looking for a way to display the results using the dataset that
SearchHelper.Search(SearchParameters)
returns in the same manner that the SearchResults webparts work.
Ok never mind, found the answer. The answer is to just use the BasicRepeater.
var results = SearchHelper.Search(sp);
BasicRepeater br = new BasicRepeater();
br.DataSource = results;
br.ItemTemplate = CMSDataProperties.LoadTransformation(this, CMS.Root.SmartSearchResults", false);

Ive been trying to create a suitelet that allows for a saved search to be run on a collection of item records in netsuite using suitescript 1.0
Pagination is quite easy everywhere else, but i cant get my head around how to do it in NetSuite.
For instance, we have 3,000 items and I'm trying to limit the results to 100 per page.
I'm struggling to understand how to apply a start row and a max row parameter as a filter so i can run the search to return the number of records from my search
I've seen plenty of scripts that allow you to exceed the limit of 1,000 records, but im trying to throttle the amount shown on screen. but im at a loss to figure out how to do this.
Any tips greatly appreciated
function searchItems(request,response)
{
var start = request.getParameter('start');
var max = request.getParameter('max');
if(!start)
{
start = 1;
}
if(!max)
{
max = 100;
}
var filters = [];
filters.push(new nlobjSearchFilter('category',null,'is',currentDeptID));
var productList = nlapiSearchRecord('item','customsearch_product_search',filters);
if(productList)
{
response.write('stuff here for the items');
}
}
You can approach this a couple different ways. Either way, you will definitely need to sort your search results by something meaningful and consistent, like by internal ID. Make sure you've got your results sorted either in your saved search definition or by adding a search column in your script.
You can continue building your search exactly like you are, and then just using the native slice method on the productList Array. You would use your start and end parameters to pass as the arguments to slice appropriately.
Another approach is to use the async API for searches. It will look similar to this:
var search = nlapiLoadSearch("item", "customsearch_product_search");
search.addFilter(new nlobjSearchFilter('category',null,'is',currentDeptID));
var productList = search.runSearch().getResults(start, end);
For more references on this approach, check out the NetSuite Help page titled "Search APIs" and the reference page for nlobjSearch.
I am using new Sitecore search, and the issue I ran into is having results come for words that have nothing to do with my search term.
For example, searching for "lies" will find "applies". And this is not what I am looking for.
This is an example of search I am doing (simplified). It is a direct LINQ check for "Contains" on the "Content" property of the SearchResultItem, and most likely not what I supposed to do. It is just happen to be that samples I find online are practically doing so.
Example of my code (simplified). In here I break down the search sentence to separate keywords. By the way, I am looking for a way to show full sentence match first.
using (var context = ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("sitecore_web_index").CreateSearchContext())
{
var results = context.GetQueryable<SearchResultItem>()
.Filter(i => i.Path.StartsWith(Home.Paths.FullPath))
.Filter(GetTermPredicate(Term));
// use results here
}
protected Expression<Func<SearchResultItem, bool>> GetTermPredicate(string term)
{
var predicate = PredicateBuilder.True<SearchResultItem>();
foreach (var tempTerm in term.Split(' '))
{
predicate = predicate.And(p => p.Content.Contains(tempTerm));
}
return predicate;
}
Thank you in advance!!
All right. I got help from Sitecore Support.
In my version of Sitecore I can use the following to acheive search for a whole word instead of partial:
instead of:
predicate = predicate.And(p => p.Content.Contains(tempTerm));
use
predicate = predicate.And(p => p.Content.Equals(tempTerm));
Issue solved.
Replace Filter in your code by Where, it should be fine,
here is an example :
var currentIndex = ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("sitecore_web_index");
using (var context = currentIndex.CreateSearchContext())
{
var predicate = PredicateBuilder.True();
foreach (var currentWord in term.Split(‘ ‘))
{
predicate = predicate.Or(x => x.Content.Contains(currentWord ));
}
var results = context.GetQueryable().Where(predicate).GetResults();
}
As Ahmed notes, you should use Where instead of Filter, since Filter has no effect on search rank. The classic use case for filters is to apply a facet chosen by the user without distorting the ordering of results, as would happen if you used a Where clause.
Filtering is similar to using Where to restrict the result list. Both methods will affect the result in the same
result list, but when you use a Filter the scoring/ranking of the search hits is not affected by the filters.
Developer's Guide to Item Buckets and Search
There's a good dicussion of when to use Filter on the Sitecore 7 team blog:
Making Good Part 4: Filters, Paging and I'm feeling lucky.
If you only want to search for whole words, you could prefix and postfix the searchterm with a space. Allthough this doesn't catch all situations.
I'm trying to implement custom search portlet through AssetEntries. Currently AssetEntryQuery doesn't allow to search with keywords. I'm trying to search through FacetedSearcher. Search by keywords seems to be ok. But when I'm trying to search by AssetTagNames
searchContext.setAssetTagNames(assetTagNames)
it doesn't work at all.
Here's my piece of code
SearchContext searchContext = new SearchContext();
Facet assetEntriesFacet = new AssetEntriesFacet(searchContext);
assetEntriesFacet.setStatic(true);
searchContext.addFacet(assetEntriesFacet);
/*MultiValueFacet multiValueFacet=new MultiValueFacet(searchContext);
multiValueFacet.setFieldName("assetTagNames");
multiValueFacet.setStatic(false);
searchContext.addFacet(multiValueFacet);*/
searchContext.setCompanyId(themeDisplay.getCompanyId());
String []assetTagNames=new String[1];
assetTagNames[0]= assetTagName;
searchContext.setAssetTagNames(assetTagNames);
searchContext.setKeywords(keywords);
String[] entryClassName = {JournalArticle.class.getName()};
searchContext.setEntryClassNames(entryClassName);
Indexer indexer = FacetedSearcher.getInstance();
// searchContext.setAndSearch(true);
Hits hits = indexer.search(searchContext);
System.out.println("Hits: " + hits.getLength());
Resulted query for request
searchKeyword: key1key1
assetTagName: sometag
+(+(companyId:1) +((+(entryClassName:com.liferay.portlet.journal.model.JournalArticle) +(status:0)))) +(assetCategoryTitles:*key1key1* assetCategoryTitles_en_US:*key1key1* assetTagNames:*key1key1* comments:key1key1 content:key1key1 description:key1key1 properties:key1key1 title:key1key1 url:key1key1 userName:*key1key1* classPK:key1key1 content_en_US:key1key1 description_en_US:key1key1 entryClassPK:key1key1 title_en_US:key1key1 type:key1key1)
As you see AssetTag isn't applied to the query.
I've already tried to set it through
searchContext.setAttribute("assetTagNames",assetTagName);
and commented MultiValueFacet code but wih no result.
For further i need to search by dateRange and Categories. Has anybody any idea?
Fortunately solved this.
If you'd like to search through tags you've to use a separate facet for this, e.g.
MultiValueFacet assetTagsFacet = new MultiValueFacet(searchContext);
assetTagsFacet.setFieldName(Field.ASSET_TAG_NAMES);
searchContext.addFacet(assetTagsFacet);
Also use searchContext.setAttribute("assetTagNames", assetTagName); instead of searchContext.setAssetTagNames(assetTagName);
For searching through Categories the same thing:
MultiValueFacet assetCategoriesFacet = new MultiValueFacet(searchContext);
assetCategoriesFacet.setFieldName("assetCategoryTitles");
searchContext.addFacet(assetCategoriesFacet);
searchContext.setAttribute("assetCategoryTitles", assetCategoryName);
Also i wanted to search by custom type of JournalArticle, Ive created facet for this, but got "type" twice in query. As a solution i used MultiValueFacet instead of AssetEntriesFacet during setting entryClassName
MultiValueFacet assetEntriesFacet = new MultiValueFacet(searchContext);
assetEntriesFacet.setFieldName("entryClassName");
searchContext.setAttribute("entryClassName",JournalArticle.class.getName());
searchContext.addFacet(assetEntriesFacet);
I am confused about how the search function works in the Spotify API. Their example is like this:
var sp = getSpotifyApi();
var models = sp.require('$api/models');
var search = new models.Search('Rihanna');
search.localResults = models.LOCALSEARCHRESULTS.APPEND;
var searchHTML = document.getElementById('results');
search.observe(models.EVENT.CHANGE, function() {
var results = search.tracks;
var fragment = document.createDocumentFragment();
for (var i=0; i<results.length; i++){
var link = document.createElement('li');
var a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = results[i].uri;
link.appendChild(a);
a.innerHTML = results[i].name;
fragment.appendChild(link);
}
searchHTML.appendChild(fragment);
});
search.appendNext();
So, I guess that calling appendNext() initiates the search, and the inner function is called when it has results? But the results are limited to a certain number (default 50) of the total. How do you get the rest? Do you call appendNext() again recursively from inside the callback? Also, does that mean that after you do that, your list includes the original results, or are the original results replaced? Anyone know of an example that searches through all available results?
Also they mention that if the search is running, appendNext() does nothing. So how do you gracefully wait until the current search is complete before getting the next 'page'?
Their documentation is terrible, IMHO. Say you have 1000 search results total from the server. And say I want to see results 900-1000. Have I got to keep calling AppendNext over and over until I get to 900?
Thanks

There is no pagination when using the Search functionality built in the Spotify Apps API. You can increase the number of results so it returns more than 50 results (see the Search page in the documentation), although the amount is limited (it seems to be 200 tracks at the moment).
There is an alternative way, which is performing requests to the Web API instead.
I have a custom view that I set up in drupal. What I would like to do is make a function call of some kind, and then assign the results to a php variable. I would like the contents of the view (as opposed to the results of a view export) in this new variable. Is this feasible? If it is a function call, I would appreciate a small example too. Thanks!
I haven't done too much hacking around in views, but it looks like maybe views_embed_view() might be what you are looking for. I found a good overview of the views API here: http://www.trellon.com/content/blog/view-views-api
You can get the view object with function views_get_view($view_name).
If what you mean by contents of the view is the view object itself you'll need simply:
$view = views_get_view('name_of_the_view');
However, if you mean the data returned by your view you'll need a little bit more.
$results = views_get_view_result('name_of_the_view', 'display_id');
At last, if you wish to have more control you can try another approach, creating the view object and working on it afterwards.
//variables for your view, display and resulting array
$my_view_name = 'yourview';
$my_display_name = 'yourdisplay';
$my_arguments = array();
//Creating the view object and configuring it
$view = views_get_view($my_view_name);
if ($my_arguments){
$view->set_arguments($my_arguments);
}
$view->get_total_rows = True;
$view->set_items_per_page(0);
$view->build($my_display_name);
$view->execute($my_display_name);
//now you have your data array
$view_results_array = $view->result;
